We performed a comparison between Sentinel and USM Anywhere based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the most valuable features is the business intelligence engine. It's very important because it keeps track of everything that's happening and alerts us if something is different than expected. The first time I used it, I was shocked at how well it performed. Another valuable feature that I think makes this product worth the price you pay for it is that it connects to basically every system that provides some form of logging, and it's very easy to set up what triggers this."
"The tool is simple to use."
"The solution's Kusto Query Language (KQL) execution time is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides a central locking system for many event sources."
"The stability is phenomenal and we never had any issues with downtime or even had to restart."
"It makes everything easier by automating some tasks and growing with our needs."
"The native integration with out-of-the box format is hassle free and allows data to be used advantageously."
"Sentinel gave us logs to tell us what's going right and wrong in your environment so we could secure the network."
"It allows you to define what alerts you want to see, or not to see, as well as if you want them grouped, or ungrouped."
"AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution."
"It brought our logs into one place for review and set up alarms based on changes we were missing due to lack of having one place for everything to go."
"The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event."
"The new cloud-based panel is excellent both for client review as well as for our SOC to review and respond to threats. It is much easier to configure and use than the previous solution from AlienVault."
"We had used previous products and found AlienVault centralized the logging for our security."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"The solution has all the features that we need, however they do not work correctly."
"I rate Sentinel a six out of ten for scalability."
"You need a lot of Unix scripting knowledge in order to manage the tool, which is one of the main issues that we faced."
"The solution does not allow outsourced authorizations."
"The dashboard and customer view should be improved"
"Creating a drag-and-drop dashboard or workbook in Sentinel is a little more complex compared to other tools like LogRhythm and IBM QRadar."
"I would like to see a better reporting work structure on the dashboard."
"There is no integration in the web-side of the tool."
"This product's connection to certain types of cloud systems could be improved. We can do Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, but there are a lot of other things happening in the cloud that we do not connect well enough to. This product could be improved with better connection to cloud-based solutions."
"The reporting and dashboards have room for improvement."
"The only room for improvement I can mention is the initial installation procedures. I found that the online installation instructions for the product were missing important details, they lacked necessary steps."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient."
"AT&T AlienVault USM can improve searchable data. It should be available for more than 90 days. If you need more than 90 days of data, you have to put a request and they give you raw data, which is not easy to search. A good addition would be to allow users to search data older than 90 days."
"It was easy on PoC, but when we got to the product it was different story. We had to learn the product again and got feeling that the PoC was a different product."
"I want to see more compliance management capability. The quality of integrations seems to be a little bit low."
"We've had some stability problems, not a lot, but a few. Updates seem to be the worst. That seems to be when the stability problems come up."
"Windows log collection works with HIDS, but documentation is sparse and confusing."
